Nick and Nora's Instant Playlist? Is it a mystery? I'm asking because there is a mystery series featuring sleuths Nick and Nora.
I know what you mean by having kids. Now that mine are in the teens, we don't see as many kiddie flicks as we used to. Although I must say, they did like Wall-e.

Put it this way: Hyperbole (which is the literary (?) device Wall-e uses the most in its story telling) isn't exactly subtle. I guess I'm simply tired of hearing all this doom and gloom, and even though I do think our climate is changing and that we pollute too much, I thought the ending was way too simplistic. But then again, it's a kiddie flick, and the message is aimed at kids.
On the other hand, I do like the message that cleaning up the environment is hard work. We can't invent machines to do it for us. But I also stop short at believing that technology is the villain here. It is human mis-use of technology that causes problems. Not all technology is bad for the environment. But I digress from the topic.
I believe the last movie I saw was Twilight, but I think I already posted that. I don't go to the movies much because with three kids it is simply too expensive to do very often.
